Technology

Angus Flexible Pipelines has maintained its position at the forefront of layflat hose technology through continuous investment in research and development. This is carried out in an international network of hose technical centres in the UK, USA and Australia. The company's breadth and depth of experience is unsurpassed in the industry.

Angus Flexible Pipelines manufactures layflat hose from high tensile synthetic yarns which are circular woven and then totally encapsulated in a tough elastomeric cover and lining. Different yarns and covers are used for different applications, but what they all have in common is exceptional strength and hydraulic efficiency. Layflat hose offers numerous cost savings and performance advantages over conventional rigid pipe.

Applications

Angus Flexible Pipelines has developed a broad range of specialist layflat hose products that are today used in a wide variety of industries.

History

Angus Flexble Pipelines has been at the forefront of layflat hose technology for over thirty years. It was formed in 1970 as a division of Angus Fire, the global fire fighting technology company. It was created to develop the company's layflat fire hose technology into non-fire related industrial markets. During the 1970s Angus Flexible Pipelines pioneered the development of Irrigation Hose, a high tensile, long length layflat hose for use with travelling irrigators. This was soon followed by Chemicoil for delivering fuel and chemicals, and Super Aquaduct for delivering potable water. 1980 saw the landmark development of Wellmaster, which is today the world's premier flexible rising main. Since then the innovation has continued with Dragmaster and PU2000 agricultural slurry hoses. The most recent development is Thermopipe, a rehabilitation system for water mains.
